Chapter 948 - Plan to delay Aiden (1/2)

~ White corp. HQ ~

1:31 PM

In the office space occupied by Sarah's team members…

Alexander (aka Alex) is getting his things. He is preparing to go with Marcus and Pierre to the company event.

Everyone has their preassigned seats, so they are not in a rush to go there, but they still want to reach the event before 2 PM.

Seats are assigned in such a way that allow team members to be seated together.

Sarah's full team has five members: Marcus, Lee, Harry, Alexander and Pierre. Their seats are adjacent to the seats reserved for Aiden's team members. Aiden's team currently has four full time members: Fox, Daniel, Duncan and Arianna.

Just as he got up to leave, Alexander's phone rang. He frowned when he saw the caller's ID.

”I told you not to call me when I'm at work.”, he coldly said as soon as he picked up the call.

”I need you to do something for me.”, female voice responded, ignoring his displeasure.

Alex was outraged by her request. Does she have no shame? ”One MORE favor?”

Alex sat back into his chair and lowered his voice. ”I already told you where his assigned parking is. That is enough.”

She was unwilling to give up. Yes, he told her the location, but she realized that is not enough. She needs more…”There are too many people present. I couldn't approach him.”

”You want to approach him?” Alexander was unable to hide his displeasure. Why is this woman always asking for trouble? Will she ever learn?

”You said you just want to see him!”, he angrily reminded her.

”Just to say that I'm sorry for everything.”, she explained.

As much as she sounds sincere, Alex doesn't trust her. Not when it's related to Aiden. She already broke so many rules and put herself in danger, what is a little lie compared to all that?

”I don't believe you.”, he flatly said.

No matter how cold Alexander sounds, she is confident that he will help her, like he did many times before. ”You don't need to believe me. I need this from you…”

”Eva…”, he interrupted her. ”For the sake of our history I helped you, and even kept your existence hidden from the family. Don't push it. You know that I'm putting my neck on the line by not telling them about your whereabouts.”

Alexander is aware that she is taking advantage of him, and he is more than ready to draw the line. She is getting more outrageous. Why is she not considering his safety?

Eva is not ready to give up on this. Not when she is this close. Only few minutes ago, she saw Aiden! Yes, he was with that despicable woman, but she saw him. She was unable to hear his voice due to the street noise, but he was only few steps away… only few steps and she could touch him.
